The number of newly reported crime cases in a county in New York State is shown in the accompanying table, where x represents the number of years since 2008, and y
represents number of new cases. Write the linear regression equation that represents
this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest hundredth. Using this
equation, find the projected number of new cases for 2016, rounded to the nearest
whole number.

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
